Run Baby Run

All human beings should try to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why.

James Thurber

Heather and I finished the City Arts Center Midnight Streak 5K last night. Sadly I am in bad enough shape that I actually had to train for a 5K. My seven week schedule was devised from a couple different sources but ultimately is worked out wonderfully. Here is the schedule I ran:

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
Week 1 Run/Walk 15 Min Run/Walk 2 Miles Run/Walk 15 Min Run/Walk 25 Min
Week 2 Run 20 Min Run/Walk 2 Miles Run/Walk 20 Min Run/Walk 35 Min
Week 3 Run 25 Min Run/Walk 2 Miles Run/Walk 25 Min Run 30 Min
Week 4 Run 25 Min Run 2 Miles Run 30 Min Run 35 Min
Week 5 Run 25 Min Run 20 Min Run 30 Min Run 3 Miles
Week 6 Run 30 Min Run 3 Miles Run 35 Min Run 4 Miles
Week 7 Run 20 Min Run 20 Min Run/Walk 15 Min Run 5K

I have some previous experience running; but I haven’t actually been in an organized event since the half-marathon I ran my Junior year of college. Great date night for Heather and I.
